FORT WORTH, TX: The Texas Wesleyan University baseball team (11-3) swept a double header from Our Lady of the Lake University (6-11) at Sycamore Park on Saturday. The Rams topped the Saints 6-4 before taking a 6-0 win in game two.
 
Texas Wesleyan never trailed in either game and out hit the Saints 16-13, tightening up the defense when needed and got tremendous help from the starting pitchers.
 
Matt Mihalov started game one with a burner down the right field line that led to runners at second on third, but Ram starter Andrew O'Brien struck out two in a row to hold the Saints in check.
 
CJ Ateek got a hold of one in the second inning for an opposite field double to left before Dylan Measells cracked a RBI shot to right center to put the Rams on the board. A Saints mishap allowed the inning to continue and TXWES took advantage. Chase Sliva added another on a RBI floater over the second baseman, and Luis Roman continued the rally with a RBI double just inside the right field line. Blake Seaton plated a run on a sacrifice fly, and OLLU gave up another on an error to make it a 5-0 Ram lead.
  Our Lady of the Lake made a dent in the lead with a three-run, four hit fifth inning to cut the Wesleyan lead to just two runs.
 
The Saints tacked on another run in the sixth after loading the bases with no outs. Orlando Collado did his job with a hopper in the hole at shortstop for one run, but were turned away by reliever Alex Davis and the Rams to hold a 5-4 edge.
 
Texas Wesleyan added an insurance run, but Davis did not need it, securing the victory to earn his first save of the season.
 
In game two, Aidan Laurini got the Rams on the board in the first inning with a RBI liner into right for an early lead. Caden Williams followed that up with a two out moon shot to left for a 3-0 advantage.
 
Casey Moses added a run in the fourth on a laser shot that beat the right fielder to the wall. Ibarra plated one more on a sacrifice fly to center for a 5-0 advantage.
 
Starter Alex Lopez was perfect through four and a third, and although OLLU threatened to score with runners in scoring position with one away, the righty got out of the inning unscathed.
 
Moses went déjà vu in the fifth with another RBI double to right field to give the Rams a 6-0 cushion that would turn into the final. 
 
Lopez went the distance and moved to 2-0 in a complete game shutout win. The senior from Ovilla, TX allowed just two hits, walked none, and struck out five.
 
The Rams will be back in action on Tuesday, February 28 when they face LSU-Shreveport at 2:00 p.m. at Sycamore Park.
